The Only Certifiable Pneumatic Pulse-Flow Oxygen Conserver for
the Aviation Market

At an AirVenture Oshkosh
press conference, Precise Flight Inc. introduced PreciseFlow, an
oxygen conserver engineered to deliver the most simplistic and
intuitive technology on the market for average oxygen use. Strictly
mechanical, PreciseFlow is designed to deliver oxygen in the pulsed
manner to meet FAA requirements for demand flow that adapts to
individual physiological needs, as opposed to the more conventional
continuous-flow systems. This "intelligence," coupled with the fact
that it is not battery- or software-dependent, allows PreciseFlow
to be the only certifiable pulsed cannula device on the market.

Said Scott Philiben, Precise Flight's vice-president of sales
& business development, "The real genius of this system is its
basic mechanical simplicity. No batteries to be replaced. No
software to crash on you at 18,000 feet. We designed PreciseFlow as
a system that does not infringe its "bells and whistles" on pilot
workload, but operates silently, safely and efficiently. Its
greatest benefit is in reducing the quantity of oxygen required,
allowing pilots to utilize the smallest and lightest oxygen supply
to meet their individual needs. The pilot simply dials in an
altitude to the nearest 2,000 feet and a pulse of oxygen is
triggered at the beginning of each breath. Since the output flow is
variable, with a large amount delivered in the critical phase of
inhalation, it allows the user to remain fully oxygenated while
conserving the aircraft oxygen supply. Its conservation rate,
versus continuous systems, is roughly triple at the 16,000 to
18,000 feet altitude range and, at lower altitudes, at least
double. PreciseFlow's efficiency actually improves with
altitude."

Continued Mr. Philiben, "In a
recent STC flight test for our SpeedBrake™ System, I took
this stomach-churning opportunity to test PreciseFlow in a
situation and at an altitude most pilots would not associate with
oxygen use. During the stall series of the test program, I
typically start to feel a bit nauseous and get a rather large
headache. However, with PreciseFlow supplementing my oxygen supply,
I came out of the test program feeling alert, steady in the knees,
and ready for lunch - an event I normally would have put off for a
few hours after touching down."

Said former Marine Corps pilot, Jerry Pierce, who also tested
PreciseFlow in his Bonanza D35 at 12,000 feet, "I found the system
to be easy to use and intuitively designed. It was the closest I've
come to breathing naturally and, versus the continuous-flow system
I normally use, it was much less drying on my nasal cavities. I'd
say its biggest and most pleasant surprise was that I saved more
than twice the oxygen capacity I typically would have, considering
my altitude and

length of flight, and actually walked off the strip feeling more
alert. Precise Flight builds good stuff. With PreciseFlow, they've
done it once again." Designed to integrate with Precise Flight's
popular Nelson Oxygen System, PreciseFlow is a lightweight fluidic
device that mounts between the oxygen tank regulator and breathing
cannula to deliver oxygen on demand. Precise Flight will
demonstrate PreciseFlow at Booths 2139 and 2140 at EAA AirVenture
Oshkosh 2003.
